Deporting US Citizens

12:14 H | Topics: Immigration - Justice - Politics

detention%20center.JPGI've been constantly writing about how current immigration policies impacts more that just undocumented workers. Racial profiling and an inept system is sweeping up citizens and deporting them.

Pedro Guzman, 29, was picked up at the Calexico border crossing over the weekend. He was released to his family on Tuesday. A wrongly deported U.S. citizen who was missing for nearly three months in Mexico ate out of garbage cans, bathed in rivers and was repeatedly turned away by U.S. border agents when he tried to return to California, his family said Tuesday.
Guzman was deported on May 11 through confusing circumstances. His family thought he went missing and was looking for him. Since this happened Guzman has suffered emotional and psychological trauma.
